Ballot Type: Hybrid
Submitted: Dec. 2, 2025, 1:01 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Strict win loss and head to head requirements for rankings. For instance, Notre Dame is stuck behind Miami until they lose again, Vanderbilt is behind Alabama who is behind Oklahoma, Michigan is behind USC, etc.. My rankings go as such: -Undefeated P4 -1 loss P4 -Undefeated G5 -2 loss P4 -1 loss G5 And so on. I then rank the resumes subjectively after sorting them in their groups and accounting for H2H within the groups. It also takes into account external factors such as injuries and coach situation, but only within it's pod
